Litecoin Superfan Moves From Mom’s Apartment To Penthouse
Every famous crypto seems to have a 100% die-hard investor that believes in it all the way. For Bitcoin it is the Dutch family of five (42-year-old Mr. Didi Taihuttu, his wife, and their three children) that decided a few years ago to all-in for Bitcoin. Although they were mocked in 2018 when Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention crashed after setting an almost $20,000 high, their vengeance is sweet now that the coin is trading near $35,000.
Litecoin also has a superfan in the form of John Kim. The 43-year-old from Dallas had begun to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2017, together with his wife. He was particularly drawn to Litecoin and in 2018 moved all his savings into the coin, even selling his house. His wife left him afterwards and the man had to move back in with his parents when crypto crashed in 2018.
This is the house i sold to go all in on #Litecoin awareness and adoption in my #LTC truck 2018.
2 yrs later, I’m still homeless but i could buy it back if i wanted to. But i won’t. I like my simple nomadic lifestyle. pic.twitter.com/aLVuh6b4w2

Supercar
However, when PayPal announced that it would allow its 300 or so million users to purchase crypto directly via its services, the Silicon Valley company included Litecoin as one of the five coins that traders could buy and sell. These last few months, as Litecoin went on a parabolic rise, have proven John Kim right, and he is now looking for a penthouse to park his supercar.
I’m already planning my 2021. After 3 yrs of living like a paulper, I’m looking for luxurious home and a garage that will hold my supercar.
What are your plans?× https://t.co/iz6CWlJ7Xu

Kim, who’s now doing a media tour to explain the success of Litecoin and tell his lifestory, said:

Litecoin and Ethereum will reach ATH sooner than most expect. I thought March but i believe one month ahead of schedule. IMHO
FYI: I feel many long term HODLers will take profits there but they will FOMO right back in.

John’s prediction is for both Litecoin and Ethereum to reach a new All Time High before March.
